With Super Bowl just days away, doesn't the big game seem like the perfect opportunity to roll out the first trailer for Solo: A Star Wars Story? Sadly, you'll have to wait for Monday, when the trailer will debut during TV's Good Morning America.

It's hard to say who reported the news first – Den of Geek, Trailer-track.com and other Star Wars fan sites all made note of it – but the good news is that fans will finally get that much-needed first glimpse in a few days.

Solo: A Star Wars Story will star Alden Ehrenreich as a young Han Solo and tell the tale of how our favorite intergalactic smuggler first met Chewbacca and Lando Calrissian. The film is directed by Ron Howard and is scheduled for a May 25 release.
